AP sitting just off Dortmund about 4 lengths behind the pacesetters at the top of the stretch with Upstart and Tencender closing fast as they cross the wire ahhh... but what the hell do I know

I actually just read a tweet quoting Ocho's trainer following the draw and he said they were planning to take back to be in the second flight.

Too bad for Ochox3 that he doesn't have a plodder right to his ooutside. If that were the case, he could've been gunned out of the gate to get positioning.

I think with the 2 speedy Pletchers to his outside, he has no choice but to take back now. But maybe that's for the best. But he can't hang with the top speed anyway.

(Please save the snide remarks about how he can't hang with anyone regardless of post lol... trust me, you're not original)
